How can you feel like water
If nothing flows right for you,
And how can you feel grounded
If the earth decides to befriend
Everyone except your dog-tired feet,
And how can you keep burning
If the fire in you keeps losing flame,
And when the wind is incessantly
Being knocked out of you,
How can you be in your element?

When we are on this path, we will be challenged continuously. Suffering is a part of it, as is surrender, the latter of which the quote, for me, is speaking to. Lovely poem, Aaysid. ☺️
